1782892 - Information Steward 4.1 SP1 Upgrade Scenarios

When you install on top of an existing Information Steward (IS) 4.0 or 4.1 installation, you must upgrade SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform (BI platform), Data Services and Information Steward in the sequence of the following recommended scenarios.

Notes:

• Information Steward works with both SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform (BI platform) and Information platform services (IPS). Therefore, you can replace BI platform with IPS anywhere in this document.
• “+” means install
• “-“ means uninstall

Scenario 1: BI 4.0 SP2 + DS 4.0 SP2 + IS 4.0 SP2 + BI 4.0 SP4 + DS 4.1 SP1 + IS 4.1 SP1

Known issues:

• After installing BI 4.0 SP4, Data Services 4.1 SP1 and Information Steward 4.1 SP1, links in the CMC may appear broken with ??? characters displayed. You can resolve this problem by running the Information Steward 4.1 SP1 installer again in repair mode.

Scenario 2: Upgrading on Linux

• BI 4.0 SP2 + DS 4.0 SP2 + IS 4.0 SP2 + BI 4.0 SP4 + DS 4.1 SP1 + IS 4.1 SP1
• BI 4.0 SP4 + DS 4.0 SP3 + IS 4.0 SP3 + DS 4.1 SP1 + IS 4.1 SP1

Known issues:

• After installing IS 4.1 SP1 using an upgraded DB2 repository, you may find a “Please perform DB2 reorganization on tables ….” message in the installer log. To fix the error, it is necessary to reorganize the following tables:
  • MMT_Connection
  • MMT_Transformation_Package
  • MMT_Actor
  • MMT_Software_Module
  • MMT_Configuration
  • MMT_Table
  • MMT_Parameter
  • MMT_Utility

           This can be done from the DB2 Control Center by right-clicking on each table and choosing “Reorganize…” from the menu.  Use the default reorganization options by clicking on the OK button.
